240 Mr. E. Meyrick's Notes on 



Thorax whitish-ochreous, with brown subdorsal stripes. Abdomen 

 ochreous-whitish. Fore-wings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 apex pointed, termen faintly sinuate, rather strongly oblique ; pale 

 whitish-ochreous, along dorsum and on posterior half more or less 

 partially brownish-tinged and sprinkled with brown and dark brown ; 

 a suffused brown streak, mixed with dark brown, along submedian 

 fold from base to tornus ; stigmata fuscous, often indistinct, plical 

 obliquely beyond first discal ; a subterminal line of dark fuscous 

 scales very indefinitely indicated : cilia pale whitish-ochreous, more 

 or less sprinkled with fuscous. Hind-wings and cilia ochreous- 

 whitish. 



Four specimens, Wellington. Intermediate between 

 griseata and politis, but easily distinguished from both by 

 the whitish-ochreous colouring, brown submedian streak, 

 and whitish hind-wings.
